All of a sudden I felt a burning need to start blogging again, without having anything in particular to say at the moment. Just so if in the future I do, I can simply start writing away, instead of having to go through the pain that is creating a goddamn blogspot blog first.
The urge was so forcible, in fact, that I had to use a random word generator to be able to call the blog something so I could get started, as my imagination is currently on strike. At least when it comes to blog titles. 'Metempirics' sounded fun, and turns out what it means is fascinating and kind of fitting. That's where I got 'Wayside' from as well. Through patient, repeated clicking until it was something other than "opossum" or "maccaboy" metempirics. I hate naming a blog as the title will almost always be either boring or pretentious, if not both. If those are the options, I'd rather be pretentious, in which I think I now succeeded.
In a way I'm quite skeptical about this one. Since, the way I see it, other people's blogs are like the hair that grows on your head - it just keeps growing longer and older - while mine's like... I don't know, nose hair - stops growing after reaching a certain length, and just is there, until you take it out completely. (Beats me why I didn't compare it to eyebrows instead.)
I've lost count of how many blogs I have started, kept and abandoned in my life. My blog history is a lot like my history with many things, such as hometowns and countries, study places, jobs.
I have now set it as a goal to make an exception to that, with something at least. (This blog might not be it though, time will tell.) I think the problem generally is, I can't help getting too personal, and then I feel like I shat where I blogged, no other option but to start over someplace else.
I also hate stupid expectations as to what to write about (both mine, other people's and the ones I imagine other people have). I try no longer to have any. A post can emerge any given time and be about any given thing. That's the premise right now at least. No theme blogs hereabouts.
